- In a mixing bowl, add refried beans,2 tbsp of water, taco seasoning, 1/4 cup of cheese, bell pepper, and 2 tbsp of diced onions. Mix well and set aside.
- Make your pico de Gallo by first rinsing the leftover diced onion in cold water to get rid of any of it’s harsh flavors. Drain well and add to a mixing bowl along with 1 Roma tomato that’s been diced, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.
- Make your enchiladas. Pour enough enchilada sauce into your baking pan to cover the bottom in a thin layer. Add 2-3 heaping spoons of the refried beans in the center of each tortilla. Spread the beans down the center and roll the tortillas up and place it seam-side down into the baking pan side by side. Pour the rest of the enchiladas sauce and 2 tbsp of water over the top of the tortillas and spread with a spoon to make sure everything is covered in the sauce. Top with more cheese and a tbsp of pico de Gallo.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let the enchiladas sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can use kidney beans and mash them with a little bit of water instead as well. Also, there will be leftover beans, I like to use them to make myself a bean burrito for lunch the next day! For the filling: feel free to add whatever vegetable you have on hand to the beans. I’ve use sauteed mushrooms, chopped kale, cooked sweet potato, and zucchini in the past!
